I don't know much about LLVM's code generators, but if all you need is
to create a Value * for an immediate constant, you might try using the
ConstantInt::get() method
(http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1ConstantInt.html#77cd822480bc78732c84a9619e49e14a). 
A ConstantInt is a subclass of Value, and you can use it to create
constant integer values in the LLVM IR.
